Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines
One-dimensional (1D) equivalent-linear
total-stress site response analysis (SRA) is the de facto standard for state department of
transportation (DOT) highway facilities at locations where site-specific ground response analyses
are conducted. However,
many users and various DOTs have concerns about the applicability of equivalent-linear
analyses for the cases where site-specific SRA is most relevant.
NCHRP Research Report 1092:
Seismic Site Response Analysis with Pore Water Pressure Generation: Guidelines,
from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program,
presents guidelines for the selection and use of methods for
1D nonlinear seismic SRA with excess pore water
pressure generation and dissipation.
